I don't really feel like backreading, but I would say that a fraternity member dating a sorority member is more common than a frat member dating someone who is unaffiliated. It is not frowned upon though at my college.

One issue that pops up a lot though that I've not only noticed but experienced with dating unaffiliated girls is a jealousy/trust issue. A lot of girls think that just because you're in a fraternity you're always getting tail. So they never want to leave you alone when there are other girls/liquor involved which can be a problem in any relationship but also when there are mixers with sororities, etc.

It also gets kind of tough when you're trying to balance a relationship, academics and fraternity life. If you choose to attend a brotherhood event rather than hanging out with your squeeze then she won't be too happy. If you continually hang out with your girl instead of your frat bros then they'll start not liking the girl then eventually be a little pissed with you.

If you date a sorority girl, she understands all of this and she is facing the same sort of stuff so I feel like the relationship is a lot more smooth.

Dude if you had bothered to read the thread you would have relized what you said had nothing to do with the actual subject.

I thought it was on-topic. We went on a tangent, but his response was not off-base.
